“ Exploring the Oregon
Coast Trail is an informative and
engaging new book about the Oregon Coast that goes thankfully well beyond just
serving as an excellent guide to the Oregon Coast Trail. It also educates the
user into the unique legacy of Oregon's publicly-owned beaches and why such a
trail exists in the first place.”

hikers can enjoy. And now here’s another gift: a thorough, informative and
entertaining guide to this amazing trail. This book is perfect for all hikers,
whether you seek a one-day stroll or a multi-day adventure along the Oregon
coast. I look forward to using it!”

“From the pioneering pathfinders to
the access advocates, this book goes
beyond just being an excellent working guide for the curious explorer of the
Oregon Coast Trail. It also provides important insights into the rich history
that has shaped an Oregon birthright to explore our coastline.”
